The aircraft took off and became airborne about half way along the strip. Flap 10 (degrees) had been selected for the takeoff and was retracted once the aircraft was safely airborne. The pilot adopted the best climb attitude which held 60 knots. Initially the climb rate was 500ft per minute, but when the aircraft entered mild mechanical turbulence, this changed to a 300ft per minute descent rate. This situation continued until impact with trees on a ridge line about 1km beyond the departure end of the strip. The occupants were uninjured and were able to vacate the aircraft.
